Mr. Hayes is going: to write a his tory of his four years* occupancy of Mr. Ti Idea’s office, A week is a Ion? time to wait for the many food thing* served up in the Rome Tribunt. How about a tri weekly, Col. Ingraham? We present a patent inside this week and will probably have one also next week. This arrangement ia on ly temporary—until our broken arm is healed. Gainesville is spreading herself as a summer resort this season. The Eagle will appear next week in a summer resort issue. What is the .State road going to do in the summer resort business this year? A most telling argument is advaiw ced by the Sparta Ishmaefile In favor of our farmers raising their own meat. It L that western hog raisers have a way of killing their sick hogs as soon as they become unhealthy, *fd making bacon of them for sale in the south and elsewhere. This may or may not be true, but at any rate, if the southern farmer raises his own hogs he is sure to know what he is eating. The ex ceilencies of the Atlanta Con stitution :as a great newspaper is in a great measure due to its excellently managed local department. Mr. Ed ward BrufTey as a newspaper reporter' has no superior in the state. His work shows for itself. He acknowl edges that he is the only young roan on the state press who is not “taleuN cd,” but when it comes to a pair of swift running logs he can be counted a whole scholar. We have no desire to bore the peo ple of Cartersville with the discussion of old topics, but the question of bailding a cotton factory is one that we shall willingly abandon until we hear the hum of the spindles in Car tersville. We shall even be impor tunate like the good widow In thsbi ble, in the hope that some of our cap italists; will build a factory to get rid of our importunity. It /is by far the most important, question thnt wc have ever bad occa sion to present to onr readers. West all times willingly lend the aid of our columns in the interests of ice-cream festivals,church festivals, ities religious and benevolent enter prises—commending the causes that prompt them, and cheerfully lending our aid to make them successful Butlhisisa matter of great public ioterest, one in which the entire com munity is interested —nn enterprise, which, if inaugurated, will be of profit, t only to individual invest ment, tut to the entire city. Believing this, as a public journal, having at heart the welfare, the prns perify, the individual end general aggrandizement of the people whom we serve, we fee) it a duty to never werv or grow indifferent m urging it, in arguing for it, in pleading for it. We have a beautiful little city—a stnng trade, a fine cotton market,' splendid society; but we had all these ten and twenty years ago. If some oi old citizens who have rested quietly for twenty years in Oak Hill cemetery, could rise from their graves and walk over the city they would find lirlie difficulty in recognizing its houses and streets. If old Rip \an Winkle had been a resident of Car tersviile, and had* taken his twenty* years nap upon some of the hills that surround our city, when he awoke and carp© in town the old man would not have been so previously shocked at the change. He wm/ld have found the village pretty much as he left it. This is not said to detract in any wny from our city—*on the contrary, we are always ready to speak a good word for Cartersville, and are never so well pleased as in recouting our advantages as a city, and asserting its prosperity. The fact Is, Cartersville has always been a good town. What we need, what wo have always need ed, is more public spirit and more enterprise. With the capital we have with the number of spleudid business men, we OUght to be a bigger town, and a wealthier town. This could be easily accomplished by the establish ment of a few of those public enter prises that have made other places wealthy and prosperous. We believe there is life enough, brain enough and c&ptia! enough to do this. Men who have made their money here ought to be willing to spend a little of it in this direction, especially U it will re* turn them a good interest* CARTERSVILLE, GA., TUESDAY, MAY 10? 1881. RBPORTOEIAL KA.CMT. Dog fennel has began to grow. Did you ever see the tow n so dull? W T ill the blackberries never come? \ Col. Johnson and family "go to Full ing Spting. The crops are growing finely. The rain came timely. Will the city park grow up in dog fennel this year? / Quoit pitching is now to the bat, with marbles on deck. K John Akin has not entirely recov ered from the measles. Y Buff Anderson’s hand is getting \vell enough for him toswing the girls around. Eewis Erwin and Warren Akin ate making money in the blocmery business. The appearance of the new post office is strikingly business-like aud comfortable. The painter’s brush is brisk about Cartersville, and our side of tne town is looking handsome. Scott left for Atlanta last week with a half dozen fine horses to sell for Roberts’ livery stable. Pompiuspilius Johnsing is in full blast with a nicely equipped ice cream foundry at Mountcastie’s old stand. The Cherokee road now connects with every State road passenger train leaving Cartersville. See new schedule. Vcol. M. R. Stansetl is the best city farmer in the county. His clover and lucerne patches are said to be ex traordinary. We have sent some very piteous appeals privately to many of our pat rons. Will they not respond in this hour of our need? Howell Cloud at Kiugston is the only young aingie man in the county who sports a carnage, and pair. Girls, go for him. ‘ Capt. J. L. Rice, of Nashville, is iu the city on a business trip. Capt. R. has many fiiends here who are always glad to greet biro. The bustling business done bone by Gilreath A Cos., furniture dealers is due to advertising. Now, Mr. Donbt ing Thomas, what say you ? Kirkpatrick has arrived safely at Hot Springs, Ark., and whites back that he is pleased too well to evtr aprin return to Georgia in live, tM r. E. T* Henderson and lamily arrived safely at home Friday from tneir visit to Arkansas. Their stay was somewhat shortened by sickness. If you are reading this paper and it is borrowed from ome eise, drop it. You should not so wrongly get our labor for nothing. Be ashamed. The Mr. aud Mrs. Editor of Tiie Express return sincere thanks to kind neighbors for Christian concern and willing service during recent ill ness. Will Christopher, Wilt Shumate and Henry Peeples, df Athpta,eame up bird burning last weeK', without regard to the game laws now in force in this county. _yMr. A. Ford, selling' California wines visited CarteHville yesterday. Mr. Ford is a favorable dealer and his goods are exceedingly popular with consumers. Vl)r Tigner and lady, old residents of. Cartersville, delighted many iriends with a visit this week Dr. Tignor is one of the most eminent dentists in the state. t Misses Lillie and Fannie Young e visiting relatives at Stilesboro. We hope for them a pleasant stay among the clever and whole-souled people of that locality. Charlie Auerbach ought to take down that red and white parasol over his door and put a food advertise ment in The Express. It would bring him more custom. Poor Bob Parrott is now wearing chains en train and cut Mat in the city’s service. Although an humble citizen, Bob has done much towards the improvement of the town. The fishermen are asrain on the qui vive. But the quiet of the banks alrng the turgid Etowah are now un disturbed by two erstwhile lone fish ermen—Murph and Sam Hudgins. * A fellow writes to us wanting to Advertise if we will take pay in fit medicine. Respectfully declined. We are willing to take liver medi cine, itch cure and condition powders but really can’t afford to have fits just to fill up our advertising columns. The Georgia Press Association will pass through Cartersville Wednesday morning at one o’clock on a special car. The band of “khia” will join them here and go to Rome. It would be a nice thing for the ladies and gen tleman of Cartersville to attend at the depot with flowers. We always thought Bill Anderson, Clerk Durham, Maj. Fouto, Ranse Sellers, and other one-armed men were very smart in helping them selves, but we wager there is ont thing they cau’t do and that is to get money out of a delinquent sub scriber. Asa member of the one armed brigade, we say that can’t be did. Mr. Chas. E. Habicht, foreman of The Express, left Monday to take position on the Gadsden (Ala.) Times. We are grieved to give him up, be cause he is a most thorough printer and attentive to business. Brother Meeks will find in him one of a few of the Dow-a day printers. We part with him only because we are unable to pay him the wages he is offered in his new place. Mr. C. H. Horine, a prominent pork merchant of Chicago, with his lady, spent several days with the family of Hon. Miles G. Dobbins at Rowland Springs. Mr. Horine is the father-in-law of Dr. U. O. Robert son, once the physician in charge at Rowland Springs, but now of the At lanta Health Institute at Atlanta. Dr. and Mrs. Robertson accompanied their parents thus far on their return homi to Chicago. Mad Bags. No little excitement has prevailed in town last few days over a mad dog that had bitten several others of his species. Capt Wilkeraon killed him with a rock. The bitten animals have been killed. The Deg Law. The city council has passed a law that from and after the 15th of this momh all dogs ruunrng at large in the city limits without wire muzzles shull be taken up and killed and lhal the marshal is instructed to kill any dog that in his opinion is affected with hydrophobia. We hope this wUI be the means of get-iog rid of quite a lot of Curtersvilie’s loafing curs. Promotions on the Cherekee. Last week several promotions took place on the Cherokee road. .Con ductor Vandivere, being the oldest conductor on the rosd, was mads yard master, with headquarters at the transfer yard*. He has charge of the running of nil the trains. Mr. J. H. Cobb was made n conductor Vandivero, promoted. Georg** Peacock was also promoted to passen ger conductor. The road is as vigor ous as any in the Stale. Visit of non. Wbi. Er Dodge. Hon. Wra. E Dodge, of New York, accompanied by his good wife, spent several dnys recently in Cartersviile. Mr. Dodge came to invest some little money in manganese lands. He pur chased the property of Mr. Dempsey Bishop for $5,000, and has made ar rangements for other purchases. While here Mr. and Mr*. Dodge re ceived the greatest attention from Messrs* Woodward and Hackett, and other of our citizens, and doubtless enjoyed their visit. Honors to a Bartow Olrl. Mias Mary Lou Young has been recently elect* and to toach in tee high est department of the public schools in Abbeville, S. C. This amounts to great distinction in the line of teach ing as the examinations of teachers in Carolioa are very rigid. By close application and fidelity to her calling this fair daughter of Bartow has reached a high place from which she can justly claim the highest praise and congratulations from her friends in Georgia who love her so well. Cammnnl cation frt Mr. Tk#a§. We am in receipt ot a lengthy com munication from Mr* Andrew t-. Thomas, now in Bartow county jail, which is too long for publication. We hope Mr. Thomta will not be of fended as it ia impossible for us to make room for his lengthy manu script. We publish the closing para graph, however, which leas follows: It nee ms from every appearance that my relations and friends have forsaken me altogether, as none of them come to nee me only my wife and babe. What th cnowe is I don't know. Will you please ask why they don’t come for my n\ ecial benefit. I am not the first and only man ever in Jail. Remember life is uncertain and death is sare. I will be glad to s*.e as many as will come, farewell. A. J. TbqIUS. A Ztw Ore Sink. Mr R. R. Bridgers, of the W. A A. R. R., has recently opened a bank of iron ore (brown hematite) on the land of Mr. \V. H. Lumpkin, at Roger’s Station. The ore is most excellent, is near the railroad and in sufficient quantity to be very profitable. The Pfeuie at Slilesbero. Stileboro’s annual May picnic came off last Friday. Although we were the recipient of a most cordial invitation yet we were for a multi tude of reasons, debarred the pleasure of attending. Tht?re are no people so hospitable as the 17th district folks, and for that reason we are not dis* posed to let their annual pic nlc pass with a mere mention of its occur rence. So at our solicitation a young gentleniau of Cartersville who attend ed has kindly furnished us with the following: It was our good fortune to be pres ent at the picnic in Stilesboro last Friday. Though we were never at the above named pla ; eona like occa sion before, we do not hesitate to say that, if the last is a fair specimen of the picnics the people of the 17th dis trict get up, they are far aftead of most people, for strange to say, the art or gift; which ever you please, of making a picnic enjoyable is far from common. The hospitality of this people has come to be proverbial, and this event more than sustained their reputation. By 10 o’clock a large crowd had assembled, who seemed determined to have a good lime and make every body else have one if pos sible. At 12 j o’clock dinner was spread in the beautiful grove in the academy lot, and a more sumptuous repast it hasn’t been our pleasure to look upon in sometime. After dinner was over the party engaged in the diflerent amusements of the day which were principally, croquet, mumble peg and many many stars, for the little folks, and those with whom cupid was consulting would steal away and seat themselves under the shady houghs of some tree and they seemed happiest of all. And those who in dulged in the airy fantastic were kind ly tendered a room in the elegant res Hence of Capt. Sproufl. One of the most beautiful features of the picnic was the ime-rtst masilusted by the “ i.'d folk*,” chief among Whom wore Cfcpls. Chas. Sbclrmni, Pri.chett and Ms . Cunycjrs. They denied to enjoy it immenst ly anti added greatly to the pleasure of the day. Misses Mol* tic Yancy and Pat tic Colbert, of Ce dartown, were among the belies of tbo •Kjcasion. Joe Moon and These. Smith declare tha'. Stilesboro can’t be beat. Carters vills was well represented, and ail seemed to be delighted. We shall always deem it a special pleasure to attend alike affairs gotten up by t-h* 17ih district. D. Bartow 1 broad. Our readers will remember that sev eral week? since we noticed the visit to Cartersviile of two gentlemen of New York State. Mr. E. N Northropp and Captain Williams, who in company with Mr. Francis Fontaine, commissioner of Immigra tion of Georgia, wore making a tour of the state with a view to locating here. The genial Mr. Northropp, (and may his tribe increase,) is writ ing for his home paper, the EUicotts vilie (N- Y ) Union, an account of hi* trip. From a recent number we clip the following: We arrived in Carteraviile fifty miles above Atlanta, about 10 p. m. f and secured lodgings in the St. James hotel. We found OartersviiJe a smart young city. The wagon factory th-re is a fine one, and an evidence of the* increase of manufactures in the South. We formed a number of pleasant ac quaintances there, gentlemanly, whole souied men, ready to bid us welcome among whom I can mention Mr. Willingham, the editor of the bright, spicy Cartersville Express, and T. J, Lyon. At 9:80 a. m., March 9, we took the train to Cans Station, five miles further north, where we were most hospitably entertained by Gen. W.T. Wofford, who commanded one of the confederate brigades at Gettysburgs. He went with us on a long tramp out to explore the country about there, with which we were highly pleased —the soil, climate, water and timber all being fine, not to mention the wealth of iron ore and limestone that abound there, nod throu *hout Bar low county* The General and Cap* tain Johnston proved to be go<d on a march, and ere a couple of Itourt had passed, Mr. Fontaine and I found ourselves separated from them, and we did not find them again until after our return to the station. One thing that attracted our attention every where at Atlanta, and where ver we went, was the number of persons who knew Mr. Fontaine and the manifest love they showed for him. And no wonder, for he bad a kind word for all, and seemed to enjoy a conversation with those we met ou the cirs, and in the towns and field*, whether rich or poor. As we were walking togother across a wide, beau** tiful, plowed field, I found I had no matches to light my cigar, and Mr, Fontaine not being a smoker was aii&e unprovided. At a distance out in the field we saw a team and wagon in which was a man, while two small boys were walking ahead, one being considerably nearer to u*. Wo shouted to him and he finally came to us; and on being if he had any matches, he said he had not, but that his father had,and that he would go for them. We saw r him arrive and speak to his father, and then his father came to us alone across the long distance of plowed ground, and brought me three matches, and he had but one leg—the other having been lost, and supplio by plain old* fashioned, wooden one. I offered him a quarter of a dollar, fori suw he was very poor, but he declined it, and I saw I had made a mistake and hurt hia pride; but I quickly spoke, “For the little boy, I me*u who came over to us,” then he took it for him, with thanks. He was chopping four foot cord wood and draw ing it to the Station, and selling it for $1.75 a full cord, paying about thirty cents a cord for it on the stump. I mention this circumstance, and might mention many others, to show the general kindness and politeness of those peo ple. Next week I will, continue tny ao count of that interesting section, Northern Georgia. Yours truly, E. D. N. We bet urn to the Oid ttegine. Oo Thursday morning last a negro lifted a watch chain from the show case of Mr. Owen, the jeweller, while Mr. Owen’s back was turned. He Was caught fairly in the act and ru ide clisgnigti. II then agreed that If Mr. O, would rot prose* ute him, he would fc*kc forty l.isV’s with n sirap. He Went back atrt disrobed Cousin John Owen had handled the ftit be fore, and Shep says the ngr*> pro duced a choice programme of old plantation negro jubilee that hasn’t been heard in these pari*. Me went forth a wiser man who will probably not sit down with real good comfort in several days. FAMOUS FLAGS. Macon Telegraph. The first confederate banner made in Georgia wn> the work ;f Mrs. Thomas Hardeman. It was present ed to the Floyd rifles on the morn ing after the congress at Montgomery had adopted the stars and bars as the flag of the confederacy, and was tak en by the rifles to Norfolk, Ya., in April 1861. During the confusiou of removal and transportation it was unfottunately lost. The banner borne by the Macon Volunteers, during the late war, was presented by Miss Marianne Cobb, daugler of General H<well Cobb. It was the sixth standard that had been presented to that company, and was destroyed in Richmond, Va., during the burning of a portion of that city at the close of the war. The colors of the first Georgia regi ment of volunteers, Colonel Henry R Jackson commanding, were made and presented by Miss Howard, of Columbus, afterwards Mrs. Charles Williams. She was the origumtor of our memorial day, and in honor of her memory, the grave where sht rests, on the banks of the Chattahoo chee, receives at every anniversary of that day a most appropriate floral decoration. It Pays to Advertise. The Chicago Tribune , it is said, fst a column one year receives sl6,Obi; the New York Jh.ro 1 and receives for Us lowest-priced column $39,632. and for the highest, $348,000; the New York Tribune for its lowest $29,964, and for the highest, SBS 643; and these papers are never at a loss for advertisements to fill their columns. Their patronage comes not from any desire to assist the respective papers, but from business met who find it i profitable to advertise. NO. 18.
